Hello, my dears!
Today I'm here with a series of Thank You cards I made for my son's teachers for the end of the school year. Even though they are pretty simple, I tried to make them stylish and unique. Adding some watercolor shadows to the light background makes the whole composition deeper and more interesting. I tried to use this trick by imitating the shades of background paper with my watercolors.
Today I am sharing with you a mixed media plaque celebrating family having found a number of family tree themed products on the website including the curly chipboard tree which is intended to stand on its own and also papers from one of Agnieszka's recently introduced companies Family Tree.
The chipboard element comes in two pieces and my first step was to decorate the front piece using embossing powders in a coppery hue.
I then added two colours of goldpaste in green gold and ducat gold so that the wood now had a more mottled effect rather than being a flat colour. I then adhered the two pieces of the frame together but was careful not to glue the areas that lead to the frame pieces so that photographs can be added at a later date. The paper collection has a family tree with log effects in places for photographs and I cut these out and adhered them in place in the frame elements using magic glue.
I then adhered a very neutral piece of paper from the collection to a 12" circular canvas and cut off the excess paper before adhering the tree in place.
The paper collection has lots of flowers that can be fussy cut out for decoration however I wanted to add some birds to my tree. To do this I chose a set of two bird mould and extra light clay. When the moulded elements were dry I covered them with black gesso and then highlighted the texture with the ducat goldpasta.
I created a forest around the bottom of my tree - disguising the part of the tree that is designed to go into a holder- using flowers and leaves cut from the paper and then tucked in lots of chipboard elements form forest tea party toadstool set and hawthorn twigs. I added several butterflies cut from the papers around the piece.
I do hope that you have stayed safe over the last year and am so looking forward to Agneieszka starting face to face classes though sadly I think I will not be able to join you because of quarantine restrictions imposed by the UK.
Hello lovely people!!
Today I am bringing you an entry in my junk journal using lots of amazing products from the website.
I started off by making a flip out using a postcard from the junk journaling kit. I then added a small tuck spot on the back to add a tag. I made a pocket for my hidden journaling spots and attached this to the flip out using a small paper clip. I attached the flip out to my page base using this amazing washi tape.
On the journaling base I made an over the page pocket from the Cozy forest paper collectionand made a micro junk journal to put in one of the pockets. I had lots of fun with some of the new Stamps to add some depth to the background and embellished it with some Butterflies and PET flowers. And no project would ever be complete without some of the amazing supplies from the haberdashery - Shabby ribbon and coffee stained lace.
Hello, dear friends! Today I'd like to show you something new. Long ago I picked a cute chipboard frame base but couldn't find a proper style suitable for family photo to finish it. And finally all the stars have come together! The matching paper was found, reach greenery outside brought a lot of summer inspiration and voila - I've got a new piece of interior just for myself :)
